She was extremely forthcoming about how the fine art photography world works, which my being a "babe in the woods" her advice was a massive shortcut to knowledge that would have taken years to come by. Elizabeth has been one of the best, most useful and nicest contacts I have made in the photographic world." – Photographer Joanna Black La Lettre de la Photographie Profiles Jack Woody, Twin Palms Publisher Anne Wilkes Tucker, Photography Curator Richard Gere on Photography More Profiles... |
